Can You Still Afford to Travel?

Is The Economy Slowing Down Travel?

The biggest question in the travel industry right now is whether travel is slowing down or if our clients are still traveling.

I can tell you that Bannister Travel's clients are still traveling. Just because money is tight doesn't mean we have to stop traveling. If you are used to flying somewhere on vacation, try going on a cruise out of a port that you can drive from. Not purchasing airfare can save you a lot of money and with the money you save, you can upgrade to a balcony from an interior stateroom and have money left over.

In our area, we have Mobile, Alabama and New Orleans, LA, and Gaveston, TX which are all within driving distance from the Mid-South area.

Our clients are taking 4, 5 and 7 day cruises out of these ports. We have 2 large group that are going out of New Orleans in January and another that is going out in February. Going in a group will help keep your costs down as well.

If you don't like cruising, you can drive to Nashville, St. Louis, Atlanta, Birmingham, Panama City, Branson, Gatlinburg, and any number of other places where you can have a great vacation and save that airfare money for something else.

Is the economy down? You bet it is. Does that have to change your vacation plans? Maybe a little, but at Bannister Travel, we are finding ways for our clients to have a great vacation with family and/or friends while staying within a budget that the clients set.

Call one of our agents today and let them help you plan a vacation. You can find them all, listed under "About Us" on our website at www.bannistertravel.com .

Travel Insurance

Do you need Travel Insurance? Check with your health care providor and see if you are covered for medical expenses incurred outside the continental United States. If they say yes, have them fax you a copy of that page of your policy so that you have it in writting.

If not, contact me so that I can send you the information that you need to have to make a good decision about what you need.

Do you have pre-existing conditions that need to be covered? Do you know that you can be covered for as little as $50 and msot people don't pay over $150 no matter what kind of insurance they get.

It is always better to be sure, so check with your providor before you travel anywhere. If you go to the Grand Canyon and climb rocks, or if you go skiing in Colorado Springs, you may not be covered because it is consdiered a sports injury and many insurance policies don't cover that.

Just be sure. Please.
